How to delete forums completely from buddypress

I am trying to delete my group forums. I do not have site wide forums set up (if that matters). I have clicked the uninstall forums (group forums) from the buddypress settings, to no avail. Someone said I needed to delete the config file for the forums, it didn’t seem to do anything…
